2 There are several pockets of excellencies scattered across the continent where a number of countries and organizations are involved in geospatial technologies and their land applications. When brought together, these organizations added comparative advantages, potential synergies and complementarities that can booster further and systematically organize the land management agenda on the continent frica Institutional Landscape : Pockets of Excellencies ECOWS GHN UEMO BENIN COTE IVOIRE TOGO MLI MU BURKIN GUINE B.

3 Partnership: How to Get There Key Principles Liaise with other substantive international and regional organizations to determine priority areas of need Demand pull, rather than supply push Identify specialized agencies and other stakeholders with relevant data Including national sources where facilities exist Taxonomy of data for identify gaps that are not currently being met for sustainable land management Such data would be stored in locally if warranted gree on mutual access to data and services remotely 10/05/2016 Slide 3 of 20

4 Nature of Possible Partnerships Continental level: The actors at this level provide the overarching scope and architecture for a supra-continental framework of geospatial and land management strategy. Example of institutions include: UC, EC, fdb, Space related networks. Regional level: The stakeholders at this scale are provided with the role of developing operational programmes and solutions to address cross-cutting or thematic issue across borders. Example includes the regional operational centres (RECTS, RCMRD, GRHYMET, UN-Habitat,etc). They ensure technical implementation of policies defined at continental level. National level: It s in this level that institutions build capacity and advance innovation, research and operational development. Some of the institutions here include: National Space gencies, academia and research institutions, industry. Local level: Community of users empowered to use space-related resources (products and tools) for land management. There are government agencies at all levels, private sector, citizens, civil societies organizations, etc.
